I ripped off the Euro Focus RS gauge pod

[CosmicArkie]

After seeing the new Focus dash, I came up with this.

[ForceFed]

And I assume thats a photoshop?

Or else..how did yuo get the gauges in there?

[logik816]

not my style, but good job.

[CosmicArkie]

He he he.

Prolly the same way Ford does theirs.

Not a photo chop.

Got a comparison pic from the Focus? That is a very good job you did BTW.

The new Focus RS looks pretty sweet, a tad bit too R/C car looking tho...

Looks like a series of warts on the dash to me. Besides, your sig says it all, why be one of the sheep?

[1speed3]

thats awesome, i want one now

[JCell]

that looks really photoshoped

[CosmicArkie]

Yeah, its a photo chop.

Just excuse the dead bugs on the windshield.

[SayNoToPistons]

Looks like a 3 eye monster opening its eyes halfway.

[ForceFed]

I like it..I just wondered if it was shopped or not...SO what..you sit this over the pieces after its on the dash then I guess.

Thats the only way I could see getting the gauges in a pod like this.

ForceFed:

The gauges are installed from the back with the fascia used as collars. Your idea would likewise work; if I had to do it over I'd probably make it two piece like you suggest.

[ForceFed]

Yeah..After I thought about it..I would make a pod that sits inside the outer pod held in from the rear...
I think that would work good...and you just gave me some new ideas...Thanks.

[madvillian]

that looks fucking killer! nicely done man!

[AAMguy]

gross.

[AAMguy]

that looks fucking killer! nicely done man!

are you serious? with how good looking your car is you think that looks good?

[Kindred]

Not a photo chop.


Yeah, its a photo chop.

Wait, Wut?

[ForceFed]

Sarcasm....
Get your detector out.

[madvillian]

haha well like its a sweet idea, it needs some smoothing out and some better craftsmanship after looking more closely at it, but i still think it looks really good.

[AllLostThings]

That's a pretty slick install man I like it a lot!

[TheRealDefman]

What we really need is one of those to mount a Dashhawk!

[hollar1211]

i like it, if it's not photoshopped, any pics of the install or fabrication?

[CosmicArkie]

Hey Mad and AA,

I'lll admit my photo chopping skills aren't the best. How about both of you try producing something, anything.

Go ahead, we'll wait right here.
